“Well equipped comfortable accommodation in a good location for seeing the local sights”

Very comfortable, well equipped, huge garden

“A memorable and enjoyable stay.”

We very much enjoyed our stay. Christophe was welcoming and helpful. We knew he would be available if we needed him, but he left us in peace to enjoy our holiday. The gite is in an upmarket, safe area. It was clean, spacious and well kitted out. There is everything needed for a holiday and more. It’s private and having parking is a bonus. It was cold on our arrival, but soon warmed up with the heater on. We thought the electric shutters excellent, as was the WiFi. It’s within easy reach of many chateaux. Worth arriving as they open, before the coach parties descend. There’s a well stocked Carrefour supermarket not too far away. We liked Azay-le-Rideau, which is an easy drive close by and in particular enjoyed its wine bar. There are a good number of places to drink and eat. It’s simple, with a nice feel to it. We visited each evening after long and wonderful days visiting Chateaux. A memorable and enjoyable stay.

The property was very quiet, situated near by animated ponds (birds, frogs etc.). There were no mosquitos. The sunset was gorgeous (and yes we were very lucky to have good weather, a bit chilly but to be expected for April). The host was very friendly and helpful. He compiled a booklet with very helpful stuff (where to get and what, where to go and how). If you are into visiting castles there are some near by (within 10 - 20 minutes driving distance). We had already a list which included the ones close to us.

“comfortable and recommendable Gite”

the location and the site in general. Comfortable and relaxing location.

“We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property.”

Christophe is a friendly and helpful host. His gîte is very comfortable and comes with a well equipped modern kitchen and indoor and outdoor games including table tennis and boules. There is a lovely private sitting out area with unobstructed views onto the large garden. There is no disturbance from the other gîte on site as Christophe has arranged sitting out and garden areas to ensure separation and privacy. The location is very quiet & rural but an easy 5 min drive into Azay Le Rideau. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property.

Christophe was such a magnificent host. The apartment was clean, furnishings new and modern. There are two rooms on the ground floor (each sleeps 2) and stairs leading to attic floor which can easily sleep 2 adults and 2 kids. Not to mention, lots of books and board games for kids. There's also a spacious garden adjacent to the entrance of the apartment, perfect for kids to run wild when the weather is good. Great staging ground for visits around some of the Loire castles. There's a need to clean up the place before checking out, but I think it's typical for French guest houses, and it's also as a sign of respect for the host and the space. Recommended, especially for families with young kids.

This enchanting place offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.

Nestled in lush greenery, Gîtes du Moulin à Tan offers tranquility and privacy, while being just minutes away from the main tourist attractions of the region, such as the famous Loire castles and the Balzac Museum. It is the perfect starting point to explore the wonders of the area without feeling overwhelmed by mass tourism. Another aspect that deserves special mention is the warm and genuine welcome from the owners. Their hospitality is unmatched: always available and ready to offer valuable advice on how to make the most of the local experience, they make every guest feel at home. Gîtes du Moulin à Tan is the ideal place for those seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a peaceful retreat to relax and recharge. The combination of a charming location, high-quality services, and a welcoming atmosphere makes this gîte an unforgettable experience. A stay here is truly a blessing for the soul, and I can only highly recommend this destination.

“An excellent Gite in an ideal location”

An excellent, modern, gite in a quiet rural location run by an excellent host who aims to ensure that you get a pleasant holiday. Location is good, local shops about 10 to 15 minutes away ranging from a local patisserie to decent size supermarkets. Similarly local attractions and activities are easy to get to.

“We enjoyed our stay a lot. The place is romantic and offers wonderful views. The chateaux are near.”

Very helpful and communicative owner, helped us with local orientation, there were leaflets and brochures available.

The flat was ok, but floors were too cold for me (end of april). The kitchen and location are great.

“Lovely Position.. I would Definitely stay again if I was working in that location.”

Everything was great.

“Perfect Relaxing Break”

Really nice host, focused on us enjoying our stay, available when needed but otherwise left us to enjoy the Gite. The location is quiet and we enjoyed just sitting on the patio relaxing. Internally the finish is modern and has all of the facilities needed (actually far more). Many thanks Christophe.

“The best holiday let we've ever stayed in!”

This is the most amazing self-catering accommodation we've ever stayed in! Christophe, our host, purpose built the gîte himself and hasn't left out a single detail. It has all the comforts of home, and then some! It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, it even has air conditioning in every room! The grounds are beautiful, and the gîte is located perfectly to visit all of the wonderful sights of the region. Christophe was so friendly and accommodating and is clearly very passionate about les gîtes du Moulin à Tan! À la prochaine Christophe, et merci encore!

“Very happy holiday - thank you, Christophe!”

Beautiful location and outside space - Christophe has hand-crafted the gite beautifully. There were so many extra things - bikes, boules, board games, books, table tennis and table football - and a very well-equipped kitchen.

Highly recommended, beautiful and spacious place. Close to nature and castles. Thanks Christophe for hosting us at your place! One of the best stay ever..

“Great apartment in a quiet location with an extremely helpful owner.”

very comfortable apartment in a very quiet location. The owner Christophe was very friendly and helpful and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. As he lived next door he was always available to help when needed. The apartment was very close to numerous chateaux, so touring around the area was very easy.

“A fabulous gite in an idyllic setting”

Le Moulin a Tan is, in every way, a wonderful place to base your holiday in the Loire valley. The host, a truly lovely guy called Christophe has, through his own myriad skills (encompassing construction, engineering, art and horticulture), created a haven that you simply won't want to leave. The gite we rented in September 2022 is extremely well appointed with two bedrooms, state of the art kitchen, air conditioning and it's very spacious. All modern conveniences are provided, a true home from home. The setting is in gorgeous countryside providing a genuine escape from a busy world; it is peaceful, meaning that you can get a great night's sleep, and the grounds, in excess of 2ha, are a delight to explore, and include a pond and an old water mill with its mill-race. In the garden Christophe has thoughtfully provided some fine specimen plants and trees in a landscaped environment. The gite is well situated for the Loire, Indre and Cher valleys with a wide choice of chateaus to visit - Sache has its own one, but you can easlily go for something more majestic such as Villandry, d'Usse and Chambord. Altogether we had a fabulous stay and wish to return someday to see Christophe's continuing creation of a little haven of peace and tranquility. Do book in there if you are in the area - you will not be disappointed!
